Here's an analogy: "I've noticed that putting sugar in my coffee makes it taste sweeter. Does anyone else find that?" I suggest that most people will also find this; some may not be able to taste the difference, but I'll bet that no-one will say that adding sugar made the coffee less sweet. Using your logic, that fact that there were no negative reports makes you suspicious!
